  Forward head and rounded shoulders is one of the exact patterns my free 60-second quiz screens for. It pins down your version of it, then builds you a personalized program on the spot: videos included, no email required: <a href="https://www.waughpersonaltraining.com/movement-and-posture-quiz">https://www.waughpersonaltraining.com/movement-and-posture-quiz</a>

  The shrimps knew all along what the ultimate form looks like. Ancient creatures of the deep, dark sea. Wisdom grows in the dark.

  To those with this condition:<br>FIX THIS AS IF YOUR KIFE DEPENDS ON IT:<br>I have had this bad posture for 10+years, developed kyphosis and then it resulted in cervical spondylosis- Now my spine has a tear that will never get fixed or treated. The best I could do now is not to let it get worse: PLEASE, fix your posture !

  I learned in physical therapy to shift back onto my heels before relaxing my back, lifting my chest, and then tilting my pelvis forward while contracting my lower core. <br><br>That little shift to the heels helps tremendously, and I still follow the other cues for this posture alignment exercise. <br><br>Strengthening the core was also always the first thing we would do, and I’ve come to fully understand why after learning from videos like this. It leads literally everything.

  Video started so interesting and exciting, scientific and full of promises and then kinda went downhill.. with injecting this Program Lead magnet making feel like the video is incomplete and then jumping into some exercises and stretches without explaining any logic on why they make sense (b/c they do not seem to and not sure why those stretches would actually fix the posture… so looks like one creator started the video and then somebody else did the second half… :)

  I had nerd neck, forward turned shoulders, and beggining of a hunch. Ring back flies, pullups, max ROM pushups off paralletes, and holding yourself up against a wall with you neck on back side were the main exercises i used to fix posture. Strengthening your back will pull everythimg toward it. I can no longer slouch.

  I noticed my posture was bad due to over developed and underdeveloped muscles that were not synchronized. Some are tight due to weakness and lack of proprioception, some are the go-to’s which take over for a group and make a less ideal movement. By being aware of what was less ideal structurally I was able to strengthen latent muscles and bring balance to the groups, over a period of time my center of mass changes. I’m actually 1” 1/4 taller than I was when you gave me a posture assessment years ago. These things can be complicated and even things like stress or if a person is hyper mobile can affect posture, building awareness is the key, finding those little things that raise our potential and make improvements is the way. Always stoked on your work man, you’re always moving forward with creativity and gusto! 💪

  I was doing as an exercise &nbsp;at home push-ups for decades, and my posture was exactly that, and apparently was because pushups was not a very complete exercise for the upper body. I didn’t do anything intentionally to correct these but I decided to be god at pull-ups to. The unexpected side effect was that the muscles for my back gotten stronger and compensated the much stronger front &nbsp;and my posture corrected.

  I had a short tongue, I got surgery and my posture improved so much!
